Specimen Days ( Whitman's 典型的日子)


Quote of the day:
"There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their supreme confidence in themselves, -- and lose their roughness and spirit of defiance -- Tyranny may always enter -- there is no charm no bar against it -- the only bar against it is a large resolute breed of men [and women]."
-- Walt Whitman, "American Democracy," Brooklyn Eagle (1847)

Specimen Days and Collect

Whitman's reminiscences of the Civil War and other prose pieces were published as Specimen Days and Collect (1882). The so-called "Death-bed Edition" of Leaves of Grass, published in 1892, is the one familiar to readers today.
In his last years Whitman received the homage due a great literary figure and personality. He died on March 26, 1892, in Camden. Leaves of Grass has been widely translated, and his reputation is now worldwide. His emphasis on his native idiom, his frank approach to subject matter hitherto thought unsuitable to poetry, and his variety of poetic expression have all contributed to making him a strong influence on the direction of modern poetry.
